This review is from: HP Laserjet 05A Black Cartridge in Retail Packaging (CE505A) (Office Product) Arrived in a timely manner and was what I ordered. WHat more can I say? 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Great product, a little pricey This review is from: HP Laserjet 05A Black Cartridge in Retail Packaging (CE505A) (Office Product) We have been using HP 2035N printer for two years now. This cartridge works great. Never had any paper jam problems. The price is a little high and there is no high quality cheap refilled ones available. we tried a few different refilled ones and they were all not very satisfactory. The original one works very well. This review is from: HP Laserjet 05A Black Cartridge in Retail Packaging (CE505A) (Office Product) Yes, you're going to get a lot of copies from this HP laser cartidge (no complaints there). But instead of paying $80 for a new cartridge, I just bought re-filled ones for $30, and so far, the re-filled cartridges are still going strong. I don't know what HP is thinking. Yes, you can "mail back" your old cartidges for reconditioning, but HP doesn't give you any money to do so (I guess you're just expected to "love green"), and at least our local UPS store refused to accept the pre-printed UPS label for sending back old cartridges. So again, I don't know why anyone would pay the extra $50 if you can find a highly-rated company that reconditions cartridges.  Great quality toner cartridges Not much to say about these. They're easy to install and ship quickly. I've never had a problem with these toners in about 2 years. by Crystal Watanabe Did Not Last Long *Updated review* I was quite surprised when the icon popped up on my screen to let me know this cartridge needed to be replaced after roughly 2000 pages printed. by Sakuya Print cartridge arrived as described I received my brand new HP Laserjet P2055dn print cartridge just as promised.

The only complaint is "the cartridge came with the starter kit last longer than the cartridge bought afterward"! by S. Shen Does the job but expensive It's toner. Not much to say about it. It prints nice and black.

USB 2.0 External 5.1 Channel 3D Sound Card Adapter for PC Notebook Laptop
Manufacturer : Generic Model : ASIN : B000N35A0Y Price : 24.99$ Last Price : 0.01$(Discount 99.9599839935974% See Special Offers  Product DescriptionInstead of struggling to reach your computer's ports on the back, wouldn't it be nice to connect your speakers or microphone to the front? This simple adapter adds a microphone-in and an audio-out port to your computer through a USB port. It's a great way to connect peripherals whose cords aren't long enough to reach around the back of your PC. 55 of 58 people found the following review helpful: You can not beat the price for performance. This review is from: USB 2.0 External 5.1 Channel 3D Sound Card Adapter for PC Notebook Laptop (Electronics) If you notice there are reviews all over the place. The reason for this is because those that are not getting good performance are not setting them up correctly in windows. After you install the USB device in a USB 2 connector (not a USB 1) you have to go into the windows volume control panel and be sure to select it (USB) as the device to be used. Otherwise it will still be set on your internal sound card. It is best to disable the internal sound card or else you may end up with noise you don't want. If you set it up correctly it works beautifully and for a fraction of the cost of a new soundcard. This review is from: USB 2.0 External 5.1 Channel 3D Sound Card Adapter for PC Notebook Laptop (Electronics) I love it, it works well with my PS3 and PC, it has great sound through the Headphones, it is very good if you dont want to spend the extra money on a PS3 headset when you can buy a PC headset for $5 or less, so it is alot cheaper alternative for a PS3 headset! This review is from: USB 2.0 External 5.1 Channel 3D Sound Card Adapter for PC Notebook Laptop (Electronics) I got this adapter as a replacement for my broken headphone jack which I used to plug my speakers into. With the adapter (Used in conjunction with my Logitech X-240 Speakers), however, there is a small, but noticeable, amount of static coming from some songs. I can't be sure as to what causes the static, but in the songs where it does occur, lowering the 8K and 16K settings in the iTunes equalizer makes most of it go away. But, if you're like me and like loud music, you will be disappointed. Turning up the volume makes the speakers sound like they're going to blow out any second. This didn't use to happen when I didn't need the adapter. In review: It's not terrible, but not great. Not for loud music fans. Great Product A++ Really nothing special but for the price - WOW, what more can you ask for. I used it for an old lap top that the sound card died in and at was totally plug and play. by Mr Speaker external USB 5.1 3D sound card You plug it in and it works. Sound is OK (sometimes a slight buzz). Definitely worth the money paid. by ehb Awesome, easy to use, and cheap! I am running Windows 7 (32 bit) on an older Gen4 Dell XPS desktop (7 years old).

How could I go wrong? its only 2 bucks, right? Well that would be great if it were worth 2 dollars. by College Student with a Selecti... Awfully shoddy I would highly recommend not buying this. It's very cheaply made and comes apart even with one slight tug.

The device also stopped working (stopped producing sound) right after it broke. by Lee Sayles Works for TomatoUSB mpd server I haven't used this for anything other than hooking it up to my Asus RT-N16 running TomatoUSB firmware to that I could run an MPD server, and it works absolutely great. by Bob Loblaw rubbish The item did not work; but to the vendor's credit it was immediately replaced. The replacement stopped wording after a few times as well. by jerry Like they say...Good for Two-Three MTH's won't buy here again! Lasted two plus months ....Just quit...????

NETGEAR FS105NA Switch 5Port Metal
Manufacturer : Netgear Model : FS105NA ASIN : B00002EQCW Price : 41.99$ See Special Offers  Amazon.com Product DescriptionAmazon.com Product Description
NETGEAR's FS100 series desktop switches are housed in a compact sturdy metal case designed without the need for internal fans, keeping operation both silent and more reliable. It can be placed on a flat surface or you can use the included wall mount kit. Simple Setup and Stellar Performance Every port supports up to 200 Mbps in dedicated bandwidth. Automatic flow control ensures smooth traffic. The FS105 has 64 KB of buffer memory and an address database size of 1,000. The switch has status LEDs for power, and link, speed, and activity for each port. The NETGEAR FS105 ProSafe 5-Port 10/100 Desktop Switch has a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 390,000 hours and is backed by a lifetime warranty. The power adapter is backed by a 2-year warranty. What's in the Box 81 of 86 people found the following review helpful: A good, solid switch. A little nicer than others. This review is from: NETGEAR FS105NA Switch 5Port Metal (Personal Computers) With switch prices coming down to about $10-per-port, it's hard to justify buying anything less than a 10/100-switch for all but the most cost-conscious buyer.As most 5-port 10/100 switches have the same capabilities and cost about the same, there's not much to distinguish one from another. Still, I particularly like the Netgear FS-105 5-port switch. Like other products from Netgear, this switch is a little nicer than the competition because it has: - Nice sturdy metal construction instead of plastic. The case also has a grounding tab in case you're using the switch in a (electrically) high-noise environment. - Connection status indicators built into the jacks, so you can easily tell which cable is connected and is active. (The "vistajack" feature.) - Right-angled barrel power connector which reduce the likelihood of disconnecting power accidentally. - An easy-to-access switch to toggle port 1 between station mode and uplink mode. Unlike some hubs where two jacks are wired together, this design prevents accidentally shorting a station to an uplink. - Screw-mount notches on the underside allows for easy attachment to the wall, underside of a counter, etc. With a 1000-MAC address buffer and 200 Kbytes-per-port packet buffer, this switch can easily handle the typical traffic load of small- and medium-sized networks. The Netgear product is not the cheapest 10/100-switch (check out the D-Link Fast Ethernet Switch, for example), but for overall design and value-for-money, I still like the Netgear the most. 31 of 33 people found the following review helpful: Fast router, flexible, design is a bit uncomfortable for me. This review is from: NETGEAR FS105NA Switch 5Port Metal (Personal Computers) I originally had a hub, and when I realized that I wasn't getting anywhere near the throughput I would get with a switch, the obvious choice was netgear. the switch is fast, slick looking, and has LED's to tell you everything about your connections. the downside? design. the ethernet cables plug into the front of the unit, while the power cord plugs into the back. the problem here is that if your ethernet cables are as flexible as warm butter, they get in the way of the led's or each other. when i plugged three cables in, the box sat to the side because the weight of the cable held up up. if you are going to wall mount the unit (it comes with screws to do so) then that might help, but if you are going to set it on your desk, the ethernet cables have to run from the front of it, instead of behind... the unit also gets warm, so make sure you have clearance on all sides so it gets air. otherwise, despite the design issues, the product is slick. has led for 10/100mb, full duplex, collisions, and the 5th port doubles as an uplink.... for fast networking netgear makes a quality product. This review is from: NETGEAR FS105NA Switch 5Port Metal (Personal Computers) I have been replacing my ethernet hubs with switches (because the throughput on a switch is much better than on a hub). After extensive review, I decided to get one D-Link 5-port switch and one Netgear 5-port switch, both auto-sensing for 10/100 rate. The truth is, they both work great! They both perform well, and were equally easy to hookup (no software to deal with). I will add one thing, and that is that the D-Link box was a much nicer design than the Netgear. First of all, it is much smaller (the picture of the D-Link here is deceiving). Secondly, the Netgear has the LED lights and the ethernet ports on the same side. For my setup, I prefer the ports on the back and the lights on the front. I think the Netgear switch was fashioned more for a rack. Style aside, a big thumbs up for both of these switches! Perfect for Home Network The package arrives neatly packaged and properly secured. The packaging is easy to open and everything needed is included except for an ethernet cable, but you should have 1 or 2... by Arthur well built and a good buy If you need extra ports for you network these work great and are ruggedly built. The metal case should take a beating and aid in cooling. by F. Hallenbeck Solid Product I have two. Chose them over flimsier-looking plastic switches and it seems to have been a solid choice. by Doggeman Simple, yet perfect This device may look simple, and that is because it is. you just hook it up and volia! Internet to all your devices, just don't forget to get a good router! by AJoyW Works as advertised. I bought this back in January so it's been running for a solid 8 months at the time of this review without any hiccups. by Dee Works great! I purchased this switch to help simplify a customer's overly complicated network. The extent of the setup process was taking it out of the box and plugging it in. by David Brown Good Product This product is good value for a good product. Very useful to allow multiple devices to use one Ethernet connection. by J. Wilkinson Worked Great For Home Theater I had one ethernet internet cable coming in to my home theater but needed to hook up my DirectTv DVR and Samsung Blu Ray player. Worked like a charm. by Steve Z NetGear 5 port switch For me this was very simple to install and set up. Basically just plug it in and plug in the Ethernet cables and it worked. by Bryce Pursley Great Value < $10 since I purchased with a $10 rebate! Just plugged in to my router and then my other devices. Everything was automatic and I was up and running in minutes. by Jerry |

Belkin F3N401-06-ICE IEEE 1394 4-Pin/6-Pin 400 Mbps FireWire Cable (6 Feet)
Manufacturer : Belkin Components Model : F3N401-06-ICE ASIN : B00005NIMR Price : 14.98$ See Special Offers  Amazon.com Product DescriptionThe Belkin 4-Pin/6-Pin 400 Mbps FireWire Cable attaches a device with a four-pin port, such as a digital camcorder, to your computer's six-pin port at a rate of up to 400 Mbps. The cable is compatible with all Apple FireWire and Sony i.LINK devices. It complies with IEEE 1394 standards for reducing radio frequency and electromagnetic interference, uses molded-strain relief and PVC overmolding to enable error-free transmissions, and has twisted-pair construction for the highest possible transfer rates.Product DescriptionCables, Belkin, IEEE 1394 FireWire Cable 6/4-pin 6 feet, F3N401-06-ICE 91 of 94 people found the following review helpful: Does exactly what it should. Very useful for HDTV boxes This review is from: Belkin F3N401-06-ICE IEEE 1394 4-Pin/6-Pin 400 Mbps FireWire Cable (6 Feet) (Personal Computers) The 6' 4 pin to 6 pin Belkin IEEE 1394/Firewire cable does exactly what it says it should for relatively cheap. As long as you're at the 400 MB/s standard as this is, there's no need to spend $50 on a gold plated connector and superheavy isolation like the Monster cables. Firewire is designed to function up to 15' without signal degradation, and unlike analog signals the 0 and 1s of digital signals aren't subject to manipulation by electrical fields. Either they get through or they don't, so as long as these are certified under the standard you save money by not buying useless frills. It's shiny translucent silver, not black, but if you care that much about cable color you probably already have your cables hidden anyway. The 4 pin models work with most electrical powered devices; the 6 pin models usually are for devices that need battery power. (The extra two pins carry current.) For those looking for an adapter for Comcast/Motorola HDTV-ready digital boxes, this is the cable you need. For some reason Motorola decided to use a 6 pin adapter, where almost all HDTVs and DVHS VCRs use a 4 pin. (PCs typically use 6.) I've used one for a while now to run flawless 1080i signals between my Comcast HDTV box and my DVHS VCR. Recommended. 54 of 55 people found the following review helpful: Satisfied Purchase This review is from: Belkin F3N401-06-ICE IEEE 1394 4-Pin/6-Pin 400 Mbps FireWire Cable (6 Feet) (Personal Computers) I purchased the Belkin FireWire 6 foot cable to use for transfering home movies from my Digital Hand Held Sony DV Recorder, and am very satisfied with the quality of manufacturing and cable performance. The cable looks extremely sturdy and well-made, and has lived up to expectations without any hitches or glitches. This cable, a DV recorder, a FireWire PCI card for your computer, Movie Edit Pro, and plenty of RAM in you home PC is all you need to begin capturing your home movies and turning them into DVDs. This review is from: Belkin F3N401-06-ICE IEEE 1394 4-Pin/6-Pin 400 Mbps FireWire Cable (6 Feet) (Personal Computers) There isn't a whole lot to say about this cable. It works wonderfully, the cable is thick (i.e. not flimsy), the connectors are well built, and I like the braided-silver-wire appearance. Best of all, most stores mark up cables to outrageous prices but this particular cable costs nearly 70% less on Amazon than it does at various national-chain electronic stores. If you need a 4-to-6 pin firewire cable, this is the one to get. (That being said, make sure you need a 4-6 pin--small one one end, large on the other--cable). Worked great for my Sony Video Recorder to Macbook Cable came in as expected. Worked great for transfering from my onld Sony camcorder to Macbook. Did nor have any issues with the cord. Price was great. by ds as exspected This is exactly what the description said it would be.

What's in the BoxPanasonic DMP-BD75, Remote Control With Two AA Batteries, User's Manual Product DescriptionPanasonic DMP-BD75Blu-ray Disc Player - 1 Disc(s) - Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS HD DMP-BD75 Blu-ray Disc Players 81 of 83 people found the following review helpful: Easy to use, DLNA takes some work This review is from: Panasonic DMP-BD75 Ultra-Fast Booting Blu-ray Disc Player (Electronics) I have been waiting for this Blu-ray player since it was announced in January, bought this to use with my Panasonic VIERA TV set. VIERA link is the main reason I bought this -- it's for our exercise room, and my wife hates all the remotes. Great as a basic DVD/blu-ray player. Pop in a DVD, TV turns on, and sets the correct input. Also, one button selection of Netflix works great, and the new Netflix interface includes search. On screen interface is also very nice and easy to use. As will all new players, only has HDMI and composite video connectors, but single HDMI for video and audio is nice and is required for VIERA link. Only reason for the 4 stars is DLNA (which in not just an issue with this device). Writing this in the hopes of saving at least one person the hours I spent setting this up. First, with my Windows 7 PC, the device was able to see and play the Windows Media Center .wtv files (I have a TV tuner card in my PC), so you can record shows on your PC and watch them on this player in another room. Compatibility with .wtv files was not mentioned in the manual, nor by Panasonic online support. Panasonic support also said that .mkv files would only play via a disk or the usb, but some of my .mkv files on my PC did play using DLNA (for some reason, only the files with an aspect ratio of 1024X576 or higher will play). Decided I needed a media server. After trying Tversity, Playon, and Serviio, none of which would work with the DMP-BD75, I installed Mezzmo on my PC. Worked like a champ! The player sees all the files on my PC and they play flawlessly over my home network. Remote will only control TV volume, power, and input, so if you switch to TV, you have to switch remotes. Don't know why in TV mode the number keys couldn't function to enter a channel number. Still, the remote will control all disc functions, Netflix, and all my video files via DLNA. One thing with the remote and VIERA link, the large power button turns on the player and will also turn on the TV at the same time. However, when you power down, using the large power button only turns off the player (which does make sense, you may want to leave the TV on). There is a second power button for the TV. If you turn off that button, both with shut down. Overall, for just under $100 you can't go wrong. And if you aren't interested in DLNA or 3D, then this would be a 5 star player. This review is from: Panasonic DMP-BD75 Ultra-Fast Booting Blu-ray Disc Player (Electronics) I've had this Bd75 for about a month now. When I first received it , I had problems. I mainly got this unit so I could stream Netflix movies, and wanted to have a Blu-ray player to connect to my Panasonic TC-L42U22 1080p LCD TV. When the player chose to work, I was overwhelmed by the fantastic picture quality of this TV/Blu-ray combo. But, the Bd75 had bugs, and if you're like me, if something doesn't work as it should right out of the box, chances are things are only going to get worse. I decided that the Bd75 was so good at streaming Netflix movies that I would keep it, bugs and all. Now for the really good news. I turned the unit on a few days ago, and had a on-screen message that there was a firmware update available. Version 1.19 I let it download. It restarts itself after the download, and since then, NO bugs, freeze-ups, or any other problems. If this firmware update does its job, then this Bd75 player will be a steal at the $99.00 it sells for. 53 of 61 people found the following review helpful: Don't Buy This for Amazon Video on Demand This review is from: Panasonic DMP-BD75 Ultra-Fast Booting Blu-ray Disc Player (Electronics) Panasonic says this player won't support Amazon Video on Demand as it does not have VIERA Cast capability. There is currently no firmware update and they told me they don't expect to add this feature in the future either. It does support Netflix streaming. I have since returned the DMP-BD75 and purchased a Panasonic DMP-BD65 with VIERA Cast. The DMP-BD65 works great and streams Amazon Video on Demand. Good solid blue ray player I wanted a small, simple, and reliable blue-ray disc player for use on our boat. This one does the job. It loads the disc quickly and produces a beautiful picture. by Roger J. Buffington Best Price, Good Service Unit matches Viera LCD LED TV. Delivered on time and perfect.

Actiontec GT701D Ethernet DSL Modem with Routing Capabilities
Manufacturer : Actiontec Model : GEU003AD3B-01 ASIN : B001IYCUM8 Price : 49.99$ Last Price : 36.99$(Discount 26.005201040208% See Special Offers  Product DescriptionThe GT701D DSL Modem is a superior-quality ADSL 2/2+ single port modem, compatible with all major DSL service providers. This product has been rigorously tested to ensure the highest levels of compatiblity and performance. Remotely manageable and preconfigured for simple setup, the GT701D Includes a double commercial-grade firewall to help keep your connection secure. (This product is the updated version of Actiontec GT701A (GEU003AD3A-01)) 123 of 126 people found the following review helpful: Great Replacement for ATT Motorola 2210 This review is from: Actiontec GT701D Ethernet DSL Modem with Routing Capabilities (Personal Computers) I purchased this unit to replace a Motorola 2210 that after 13 months died of heat exhaustion. The 2210 ran HOT HOT HOT. I was told by an ATT Tech that the unit might last a year, and of course 13 months out, one month after the warranty expired the 2210 died. My replacement setup tied this Actiontec unit to a D-Link DIR 655 Extreme N Wireless Router. When I attempted an automatic setup, it turned out that both the Actiontec and the D-Link Wireless Router shared an IDENTICAL IP Network Address at 168.192.0.1. This is not a good thing. However after a quick call to Actiontec Customer Support on a Friday Night (I really do have a life:) along with a brief description of the conflict issue, I was able (using advance settings) to modify the Network IP Address on the Actiontec unit, resolve the conflict and get the unit up and running. This unit is virtually identical to the Motorola 2210 in terms of connections and for anyone replacing a burned out 2210 Motorola (piece of junk) this is the unit for you. The unit is about the same size and runs noticeably cooler than the 2210. From other reviews of this and a related Actiontec unit it appears and so far I can confirm that this Actiontec unit is very effective in holding and processing the DSL signal. The slightly more expensive Actiontec USB & Ethernet DSL Modem has an on off switch a USB port and can handle two computers on a wired network basis without an additional network adapter, but is also an older unit that must be upgraded to ADSL 2/2+, whereas this GT701D unit has ADSL 2/2+ protocol built in. This is a great unit for the money if you require a simple stand alone DSL modem. 69 of 70 people found the following review helpful: Fast and Easy This review is from: Actiontec GT701D Ethernet DSL Modem with Routing Capabilities (Personal Computers) I bought this to replace a Verizon-provided Westell. The Westell was working fine but I was willing to see if this one would be faster, and I wanted a backup in case the one I had died (without waiting for Verizon to send a replacement). THere are 3 setup choices (my wording): 1) totally automatic 2) you select your provider 3) completely manual While I was comfortable with doing a manual setup, I was curious to see how easy it would be using option 2. I had to know that my Verzion service was PPPOE, but other than that it did indeed need no information except the user and password. I looked at the options (firewall, NAT, pass-through, etc) but didn't set any of them as I use this with a router and have everything configured in the router. Interestingly, it is running faster than the Westell's I've used (and I've had several). I've run some tests and while they're not controlled, I'm seeing about 8%. Physically, it's very small and is clearly more fragile than other DSL modems I've had, using thinner plastic. It wouldn't put up with much abuse, but then there's no reason it should be subjected to it. Important point: The ethernet cable they provide is a cross-over, and you need that on setup when connectiong the modem directly to your computer. If using a router, you'll then not use that cable again. Most people setting up modems with routers know this, but there's virtually no documentation for this thing and the on-disc manual is weak. 58 of 60 people found the following review helpful: Look no further This review is from: Actiontec GT701D Ethernet DSL Modem with Routing Capabilities (Personal Computers) I recently discovered my internet speed dying after 10 minutes of having to reboot my old speedstream 5100B modem AT&T/SBC/Pacbell originally gave me. Turns out after years of being too hot I need a new modem - and quick! After (too) much research I thought I'd give this no name brand DSL modem a try and I'm glad I did. The modem is feature rich as being both a modem and having some advanced typical router type functions built in. Installation was quick and simple. All I had to do was plug everything in, go to 192.168.0.1 and tell the modem to auto detect my setup and I was online within 60 seconds! No messing around with settings I'm unfamiliar with. Look no further than this modem. I checked out the AT&T store and their pieces of junk are $20 to $50 more than I picked this modem up for.

Popped it into my esata dock, turned it on, and windows disk management saw it instantly, as the full ~2.7tb. Initialized it, making sure to pick GPT, and then formatted it. Windows saw the whole partition, no fuss. To test the drive, I did a low level format, then a disk check. When both came back fine, I copied as many files as I could fit on the drive, and then did another disk check. Came back fine again, so I ran DiskMark to see what speeds I was getting. When the drive was almost full (~3gb free), I was averaging around 30-40MBps. after I reformatted and ran the test again, I averaged ~60MBps. Compare this to a smaller hard drive and you will see that this is considerably slower. (I just ran DiskMark on a full WD 500GB drive that's about 5 years old, and it averaged 80MBps) However, 30MBps is plenty of speed to stream movies, which is what I'm using it for. This drive won't make the best boot drive, but it makes a great archival one. As I've only owned it for about a week now, I can't comment on long term reliability, but I will update if anything happens. For now, I do recommend this drive. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Need Space - Perfect, need speed too, add a SSD...

Cisco-Linksys E2100L Advanced Wireless-N Router
Manufacturer : Linksys Model : E2100L ASIN : B003BEE6ZC Price : 119.99$ See Special Offers  Product DescriptionCisco E2100L Wireless Router - 300 Mbps E2100L 176 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: NAS functionality flawed This review is from: Cisco-Linksys E2100L Advanced Wireless-N Router (Personal Computers) I'm on my second router after the first one was replaced through RMA. Router seems to work fine for about a week and then I have problems writing to my attached USB drive. Reads work OK but are incredibly slow. Then the router requires a reboot and the problems go away for about a week. This review is from: Cisco-Linksys E2100L Advanced Wireless-N Router (Personal Computers) I've given this router a 5-star rating based upon the ease of setup and very good wireless coverage. I purchased this router to replace a flaky Belkin router. I did the setup completely from my laptop over the wireless network. No glitches, no problems. I had to refresh a few of my connected wireless devices to update their network connections, but most devices adjusted without any intervention. The coverage is great throughout my house with no noticeable dead spots. Just got this up and running today, so haven't had a chance to directly connect a hard drive for access through the network...tomorrow. Will follow up with any situations that may affect my initial rating...so far no negatives...good product! Update: Now rating this router with 2-stars. This router didn't work out, downloads were very slow and connection from other wireless components was problematic...replaced with a Buffalo router which is performing flawlessly now. This review is from: Cisco-Linksys E2100L Advanced Wireless-N Router (Personal Computers) This wireless router drops connections randomly without any reason. First, let me say that this has nothing to do with Linux. Second, I don't know what extra Linux configuration this LinkSys router provides. The documentation that comes with the CD (and on their Web site) doesn't mention anything about it. I tried to SSH into the router and was not able to. I used this router with Windows Vista, Windows 7, Mac OS X, and Linux machines and all of them experienced the dropped connection problem. All. Once the connection dropped, not one of the machines I mentioned was able to re-connect. One must reboot the router in order to re-connect. The USB shared storage doesn't work properly since it hangs randomly when one tries to access a share. The network is never busy when this happens. Be careful if you're moving files, as the network glitch might cause you to lose data. There is only one thing I like about this wireless router. It does allow you to assign fixed IP addresses to any computer via its DHCP feature. This, however, is not enough for me to keep on using it. It was returned. LinkSys routers used to be so solid, I hope this is not the sign of things to come now that Cisco had taken over. Bad product This router worked for 3 months but Xbox support not good nat closed.

The software pretty much is useless after that. by Lakshmi Balakrishna Attention XBOX 360 owners: DO NOT BUY THIS ROUTER! So, I bought the E2100L because of its reviews and affordability. It worked well out of the box and was a breeze to set up. by Mark W. Schmitz Would be 5 stars if it had gigabit wired Ethernet I hope Cisco-Linksys is reading this. I'd have given this 5 stars if it had gigabit wired Ethernet since I have a good mix of wired and wireless devices.

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG7644M DECT 6.0 Link-to-Cell via Bluetooth Cordless Phone with Answering System, Metallic Gray, 4 Handsets (Office Product) This was a seriously pricey phone for our family, but it had every feature I wanted. I needed to be able to wall mount the base and answer calls from the base for when the kids lose the phones. I won't have to buy expensive replacement batteries. I easily paired with my cellphone and download over 100 numbers to the shared phonebook. Then I could go back in and easily remove the ones I didn't need. Once it was paired, I also was able to receive cell phone calls through the unit. I heard the cell phone ring first, followed by the panasonics. The ring volume can be lowered, but I love being able to have it loud so I can find the phone that's fallen behind the cushion. The intercom system works great. It's easy to customize each phone with a more descriptive name like kitchen or bedroom and you can easily intercom without drilling through menus. I love being able to turn off the ringer in the bedroom just at night,. You can set a turn off time and turn on time. The only thing I haven't tried yet is transferring a call to another phone. I know there are still loads more features available, but I'm seriously happy with my purchase. 40 of 41 people found the following review helpful: Integrating cellphone, Google voice and skype + bluetooth speaker This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG7644M DECT 6.0 Link-to-Cell via Bluetooth Cordless Phone with Answering System, Metallic Gray, 4 Handsets (Office Product) Let me first talk about my phone setup. 1. I use google voice + Obihai 110 (highly recommend) as a free land-line, google voice will forward calls to both my cellphone and panasonic 7644M. 2. I have one cellphone paired directly with 7644M with link-to-cell. 3. Finally, I use link-to-cell to pair my computer with 7644M, so as to make computer calls with skype, etc. Below are the results for this setup, I numbered them corresponding to the above 3 different ways of using the phone. 1. There is no problem using GV this way, I read from one previous review that if GV forwards calls to both a landline and a mobile-phone, there will be a glitch that the other side cannot hear your voice. But in my case, GV forwards calls to google chat (which is converted by ohihai 110 to voip signal), and mobile phone. And there isn't any glitch at all. When receiving a call, usually 7644M would ring first, then after 2-3 seconds, my cellphone rings, I can pick-up any phone to answer the call. 2. Basic feature of link-to-cell phones, works like a charm, really easy to setup. One thing worth mentioning is its ability to transfer contacts from mobile phone to landline. However, to copy all contacts together as a whole to 7644M, your phone need to support PBAP (phone book access profile), which seems not existing in my cellphone. So I have to transfer contacts individually. Another good thing is you can make multiple calls using different handset at the same time. For example, if one handset is making calls using cellphone signal, another handset can still use the land-line to call someone else. I believe there can be 3 simultaneous calls (1 land line, 2 link-to-cell) at maximum. 3. This is like using it as a bluetooth headset paired to computer. The manual doesn't mention anything about it, but it turns out working well. Here are the steps to achieve this. First, use link-to-cell to pair the phone with your computer. After pairing is successful, your computer will automatically install the drivers for this blue-tooth handset. Then in the sound and recording devices, you should be able to see one new device named blue-tooth hands free audio. Now, if you want to chat on skype with this handset, dial a random number (I dialed 1) using the handset via the computer link-to-cell, since this is an empty number, you will not be connected to anyone. But after a few beeps, the handset will establish a voice connection to your computer. You can now chat via skype or any other chatting software with your handset, assuming you have properly setup the sound devices within these softwares. One major problem using it with skype is that the handset would hang up either when skype finishes a call or when there is no call and no sound from computer for like 10 seconds. This means after you dialing 1 with the handset, you need to dial the person you need to call immediately on computer, and the connection only last one call, after which you need to repeat again to establish connection. The numberpad on handset works with some lag in skype. I guess there is some workaround for skype to maintain a constant or automatic connection, but didn't figure out how. I also tried to set my default audio device as 7644 on computer, and played mp3 via the handset speakerphone. It's mono sound obviously, but acceptable for some audio books. I tested for about 10 mins without seeing any problem, and handset automatically hang up after I stopped music for 15-20 seconds. As you can see, this phone integrates all of my phone services. Whenever I receive calls from cellphone, GV, skype, I can answer them with it. I can also make calls with it using all the above services. A few comments for the difference between 7641 series and 7621 series if someone wonders. They are basically the same except for 1. handset on 7641 have headphone jacks. 2. You can dial and speak via the base unit with 7641, while 7621 only have the answering machine function on the base unit. 3. For the same reason, 7621 doesn't have base unit display, and there is no intercom between base unit and handset. 4. 7641 have power back-up mode during power failure, which means you can still make calls even there is a power outage less than 13 hours. 5. I didn't see on 7621 description page it has range-boost, while 7641 clearly says it has range-boost, which allow 20% more distance between base unit and handset. So if you only use your handset to make calls, and your area doesn't have power outage once in a year. Then probably 7621 could also meet your needs. I just played with it for half a day, so cannot comment on its reliability. But for its versatility and good sound quality, I would vote it for more than 5 stars! 45 of 49 people found the following review helpful: OK, but there are some shortcomings This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG7644M DECT 6.0 Link-to-Cell via Bluetooth Cordless Phone with Answering System, Metallic Gray, 4 Handsets (Office Product) All the reviews are pretty much dead on. They mostly focus on the positives of the phone. Other reviewers have said basically how I feel. It is a pretty good phone, but I wish it could be made better by improvements in the shortcomings listed below. I will give my thoughts more on what I feel are some shortcomings. 1. The phone feels cheap, compared to older phones I have had in the past including AT&T and VTECH and others. For me, not the most comfortable to hold. 2. Handset volume is definitely lower compared to older phones I have had in past. 3. The display name of handset is limited in character length and so are names in address book. 4. Software driven menu is not the easiest to navigate. You might need the manual handy to figure things out. Not the most intuitive design. 5. Volume control is hard to adjust during call. You have to take phone away from ear to adjust. It would have been nice to have volume control on side of phone. 6. No dedicated intercom button. You have to press "menu" button then scroll down with center pad and get to "Intercom". Once again, it would be nice to have a dedicated intercom button. 7. Mailbox system is pretty basic. Would be nice to have multiple mailboxes. At least three...Mailbox 1 for dad, Mailbox 2 for wife....you get the idea. My old Vtech had 3 mailboxes. Worked great! 8. Caller ID list needs multiple presses to see list. WTF? Should go directly to Caller ID list. phonesphonesphones I did research on panasonic & it rated the best.
